About

Following the success of the past three editions of COVER Connect New York, the annual boutique show for leading high-end rug brands will once again be hosted at two neighbouring venues in central Manhattan in September 2024.

Scheduled to take place the month that the world’s premier buyers traditionally look to source rugs in New York, this fair—curated and hosted by COVER magazine—is viewed by many in the industry as an opportunity not-to-be-missed.  

COVER Connect New York offers a great range of handmade rugs to discerning retailers and professionals in an intimate, collaborative atmosphere. Forty dynamic rug brands will be showing side by side at The Altman Building and Metropolitan Pavilion, September 14–16, 2024.
